Sale Update: August 17, 2010

«©NCSX» Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoya Daidouji are the focus of Bandai's set of six Card Captor capsule toys aka gashapon. No less than four of the figures feature Sakura by herself while one includes both Tomoya and Sakura in bust form where their upper bodies and heads protrude from a squat base. In the last figure, Tomoya shares the spotlight with a miniscule Kerberos and a laptop of sorts which is painted pink and pastel blue. The gashapon figures measures approximately 3" each and require a bit of assembly before they're whole and ready to stand. For example, one version of Sakura is accompanied by Kerberos which plugs into a receptacle on the left side of Sakura's shoulder. Some of the figures are accompanied by transparent braces which are inserted onto the back of the figures' foot to prevent them from toppling over while being displayed. NCS supplies this item in a complete set of six figures as shown on the upper left photo.
